    Not sure if you figured this out or not, but if it’s unlocking it halfway sometimes, it sounds like the lock actuator is weak. I had a 99 Suburban that did the same thing. Not sure how involved it is (I never bothered with it on mine), but if you want to do it, I’m sure you can find instructions on YouTube.

    The hinge pins and bushings had been replaced before.

    That’s the thing. It was sagging to begin with. So I changed the hinge pins and bushings, and it actually lifted the door HIGHER than it’s supposed to be.

    I believe I found the tool you were talking about. My wife left before I could look at the hinges, though. I’ll look at them tonight after she gets home. Hopefully I can get that tool and see if it’ll align the door better. If not, then it’ll be going to a body shop. You’re right. The whistling will drive me crazy. Lol

    I know I had to adjust the striker up because it wouldn’t latch without slamming it after I replaced the parts. I’ll double-check the hinges when I get home in the morning. I’m pretty sure they’re welded. If they are, I’ll do some searching to see if I can find a tool like the one you’re talking about.

    Oh, and I’m pretty sure they’re welded on. Edit: I almost forgot…they’ve been replaced at least once before. They weren’t the originals.

    I’m pretty sure the hinges aren’t bent. I had them out and took a look when I had it apart. It was sagging pretty bad before I put the new pins and bushings in. It just lifted it up a pretty good amount. I thought it was kind of odd, but I’ve never replaced these before, so I wasn’t sure if this has happened to anyone else or not.

    I just replaced the door hinge pins and bushings on the driver’s door because the door was sagging. After doing that, I adjusted the striker because it was sitting a little too low. I got the door aligned with the striker so it actually closes without force, but now the door is sitting too high. The top of the door is above the upper body line, which is causing air to whistle in through the door seal. Is there a way to fix that, or do I have to bend the hinges? I’ve tried googling and all I can come up with is how to replace the hinge pins and bushings. Thanks for any help. Rick
